ton of diseases. Mrs. Murphy was about

Der Of years consistent member Of the

While at Bolton last Friday afternoon
We enjoyed ride with our efficient Judge
Of Probate. W. +. Cox, over his fine plan
tstion, which is situated about two miles
east OF that village. Judge Cox's land lis
in high state of cultivation, and, judg.
ing from the manner in which his tenants
ara working, we are of the opinion that
he is a flrst-class farmer. He raises plen.
ty of grain, and makes cotton surplus
crop, which is the sequel of his success.
The only thing the Judge needs now to
complete his happiness Ia wife. On our
way back to the village, we passed over q
section of road which was being worked
under the supervision Of Capt. A. R. Cox
who is firm believer in the new road
Law. Capt. Cox said he would not get
oyer his section in the time allowed by
law, but that he proposed to do his work
right as far as he went, and next year
would begin work where he left off. The
portion he had worked looked like a
graded railroad. If every overseer will
follow Capt, Cox's example, the County
Will soon have good roads.
s. Last Friday afternoon, in company
with Messrs. w. F. Cox, A. ]. Geer, VIM.
Mattison, Eugene MCGEE and o. E. scypt,

Friday evening at the homes of the MEM

held In the elegant parlor of Capt. g. W.
McGee's hotel. At 81 o'clock the Club
was called to order by the President, Mr..
John T. Martin, and after reading the
minutes of the last meeting and calling
the roll, Prof. w: e. Breazeale read an
